Message: [QUOTE="Chin Diesel, post: 3807423, member: 34"] Fred Levin, local trial attorney in my area died at 83. Corona got him. Lived a helluva life. Some highlights. -Was one of few Jewish people to attend University of Florida Law in the late 50's. As he got wealthier, he donated $10M to have the law school named after him. He did it in part to make sure every legacy WASP kid had to walk under the name of a Jew to get their law degree. -He was a key lawyer in the Florida tobacco lawsuits and settlements in the 90's. Brought in over $300M to his firm. After the case was settled he did an interview on 20/20 with John Stossel talking about the suit and settlement. He lit up a cigarette on TV while discussing it. -He was Roy Jones, Jr. boxing manager during his prime and was named Manager of the Year by Ring Mag. -Did a bunch of work with African American Community. The Country of Ghana made him a Chief of the Country. Congressional Black Caucus also recognized him for his work. He befriended the first ever African American law student at UF. -In 2016 he had lung cancer and many thought he was a goner. He went up to Boston and cancer was cured. He promptly donated $2M to Brigham's and Women's Hospital and established a chair for Thoracic surgery and lung cancer. He also donated $2M to Dana Farber for a Thoracic cancer research endowment. -Donated an $8M estate to local university for its president to use for hosting events and for the hotel and tourism degree program.
